5151The [Admin API](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/organization) includes endpoints for managing your organization's API keys programmatically, such as [Retrieve API Key](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/organization/api_keys/retrieve) and [List API Keys](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/organization/api_keys/list). These endpoints are for organization admins automating key management. They accept an [Admin API key](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/admin-api-keys), an OAuth token with the `org:admin` scope, or a personal or service account key that isn't scoped to a specific workspace; workspace keys don't work there. They never return a key's secret value, only a partially redacted hint.

54 The Admin API can't recover a lost key or give you a key to call the Claude API with. To get a usable API key, create one in [Settings → API keys](https://platform.claude.com/settings/keys) in the Claude Console.
